In Ralph Hicks’ arrangement of Joplin’s \u003cstrong\u003eThe Nonpareil\u003c\/strong\u003e, the xylophone takes center stage and is supported by an accompanying marimba quartet. This particular rag is characterized by fast octave passages, syncopated or “ragged” rhythms, and various ornaments, making it a great challenge for any daring mallet player. The Nonpareil can be found in The Golden Age of Ragtime, a compilation of five classic ragtime pieces arranged by Ralph Hicks and Eric Rath!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the \u003cstrong\u003eprinted score\u003c\/strong\u003e you are receiving downloadable:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅\u003cstrong\u003e Individual Parts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✅\u003cstrong\u003e Full Recording\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/579751041\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\u0026amp;visual=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tapspacepublications\" title=\"Tapspace\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tapspacepublications\/the-nonpareil-scott-joplin-arr-ralph-hicks\" title=\"The Nonpareil (Scott Joplin; arr.
